Pulmac

Pulp Strength Evaluator System

Pulmac’s PSE System™ offers a complete Z-Span™ technology package in one compact and highly automated system. Any pulp or stock sample is first prepared at the PSE System’s work station. The resulting slurry is then poured into the sheet former reservoir and 8 minutes after activation, 6 sample sheets are automatically delivered, ready to be weighed and loaded onto the tester feed tray. Upon initiating the hands-off test cycle, the custom-configured Z-Span™ database will be automatically updated within 5 minutes with numbers sensitive to fiber strength, length and bonding (FS-L-B).

Benefits

The PSE System brings new certainty to pulp strength. Based on systematic testing, the numbers generated by the PSE System will alert you before creeping process changes deteriorate pulp strength to beyond tolerance limits. Pulmac PSE System™ strength testing can tell you what you need to know about the fiber strength your customer, the papermaker, wants. Direct benefits to your productivity can include: reducing downgraded pulp, penalty payments, and warehousing costs, all the while improving communication links with pulp users.

Bottom-line: The Pulmac PSE System™ numbers are the common language between the pulp and paper mills.
